Study Cuban music with Espirales
June 15-19, 2026
Simply genre-defying.
If you’ve been to Havana with CAYO in the last couple of years, you know that Espirales exemplifies the spirit and creativity of Cuba. This quintet of extraordinary musicians are the faces of modern Cuban music.
They are also dedicated to breaking down the history, context and rhythms of Cuban music, and have led educational workshops in Cuba, the US and Europe.
Spend the week in beautiful Guanajuato, Mexico with CAYO and Espirales this summer as a musician participant or a traveler.

Spend your days in workshops, private lessons and cultural excursions.
Evenings are for relaxing, practicing or taking part in optional group activities.

Like all CAYO trips, this weeklong experience is open to musicians 13-16 with a guardian or 17+. There is no audition process or age limit. Come with a student mindset.
Not a musician? Not a problem. Our dedicated guide will bring the culture of Mexico to you with a curated daily itinerary. You’ll have the opportunity to audit group workshops, pop in on rehearsals, and enjoy performances throughout the week.
